well now that i have this I guess i'm just retarded because i've backed up my shipworld files and let it regenerate, but i can't get to the shipyard with the Callistan Race

There - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/804707802/1638662230385542974/

I don't recall being irritated by you, but don't sweat it either way.

Yeah downloading every race (there are so many!) and extracting their data is a big job. After having the data though, making patches for more races is a cut-paste-replace operation. Very easy.

So if you want to make a patch for your favorite races, I can show you how easily enough. Actually that'd be better to make a thread about.

It is unfortunate that the Angels and the Shadows race redux mods are not included in either patch.

I can understand not wanting to do them, though. I know that I wouldn't.
Anyways, I'm sorry if I irritated you, bk3000. You have already put a lot of effort into the mods of this game.

Anyways, sorry about my endless rambling. Have a good day.

Please add support for the Kitsune race

As many have said, please implement Everis support if you get the chance.

yes

we need:
-Everis
-Draconis
-and Nightar

Please add draconis if possible. It is the only race I have that is missing it's ships.

could you add indix

I'm not in charge of any race mods. That's on their race's authors. I just did what would be necessary to have their race have a ship within the shipyard so that users of their mod have another option. That's the full extend of my support.

And to be clear, I didn't do some full audit of these races. I simply looked at the ship related files. Also I'm aware that I'm overdue to look at the current selection of race mods, as many have been introduced since.

how does this add support for the kineptic if the kineptic mod isint even updated for 1.0, let alone 1.3

Bad mod series.

For the most part I'm going to make new patches to support more races rather than adding to this.

But the original Neko race was covered by this, so I added "Neko Alternate" too. It just makes sense.

It's been a while since I made this though. Lots more race mods since so I need to go through them all. Their name and ship data for this mod, object and item category for my inventory mod, and pet data for something else.

I'm glad to see this.

You can't use 2 ship replacement mods together. Only 1 of the 2 would work(whatever loads last). So no it won't work.

Sooooo... the answer is no?

The shipyard is itself technically a ship - out of necessity. So it is one or the other as Starbound doesn't really let you have multiple ships. The option to add different ships to the shipyard remains, but not really dynamically because of how ships work. They're an illusion made of blocks and objects within their own world.

Is it compatible to the Protectorate ships?

(in a wierd voice) ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

































































































Never getting this again.

Yep. All the different things offered aside, this is in essence an alternate ship option for these races.

So it only allows the races to be compatible with the shipyard.

@tanis80
No you won't find their ships. The shipyard is indeed a ship replacer... that happens to include a lot of ships. Technically though they're all one "shipworld". All ships are really a "shipworld".

Ships are not a dynamic thing unfortunately. I've went into more detail before in previous comments(either here, the other sub-mod, and/or the main mod page) if you're interested to know more.

I can't find the felin and bunnykin ships EVEN if i have the mods.

@ End My Suffering
Yeah you can get the ship back the same way you got it. Deleting the old and letting Starbound generate new. Sorry about your stuff.

The whole "Steam not loading my mods" thing is a real problem. You should be fine right up to the point you actually LOAD your characters if you just exit at that point. But there is the problem - most people don't (and should not be expected to) check their logs before loading their characters.

This probably factors into why FU put "powered by Frackin Universe" on the title screen - so yo have an easy indication things didn't load.

This sort of thing can apparently mess up characters using action bar and inventory mods, or so I've been told. Now while I don't intend to throw "powered by bk3k" on the screen LOL, maybe I or someone else could make a mod that indicates Steam mods are indeed loaded in a similar fashion.

That is a mod for people not using FU (because they have that covered already).

@bk3000
Yes it was the the last one you said that happened. So what you're saying is that I can't get my items back, but I can return my ship to normal by deleting .shipworld? I would of course love to get my items back, but this particular character is quite far along and already has the story completed and tons of credits, so getting new stuff shouldn't be too horribly hard. Of course things like my "you beat the game" thank you card and my starting protectorate uniform are gone forever, but hey, at least I can get the ship back.

@ End My Suffering
You probably joined a vanilla server. The problem being your mod assets(from every mod) are gone upon joining a vanilla server. Items become "perfectlygenericitem". Placed objects disappear (but collisions may remain). It hurts more when those mod objects where containers. Tiles... turn to dirt.

If you didn't join a server, possibly Steam didn't load your mods. Offline mode etc. Or Steam screwing up. Once you load a character without the mods, the mod content is gone.

If you backed up your shipworld and character, you'd be okay but I'm going to guess that isn't the case.

To get a ship back anyhow, you'll have to delete the .shipworld again and you'll get a new one. Well salvage anything from it that you can first.

Sooo.... this mod decided to not do anything and instead delete everything in my ship and turn my ship to dirt.... any chance that can be reversed?

I'm not sure about the names used in the actual file, but I can tell you that all of the 3 races included in the elithian race mod have their own custom ship (Not simply recolors.), as well as custom ship pets.

Yeah I should get to that. Several races have come out since I made the patches. I need to download a bunch of races to add them.

Actually I need to download ALL the active races again because I wanted to find out who has a custom pet, and add support for it(so their racial pet spawns).

If you happen to have a little info from the elithan mod itself(or any currently unsupported mod), I could add support right away without delay.
1. The mod name. The actual name used in _metadata
2. The race name(s) as used in universe_server.config
3. If they have a custom ship(aside from minor edits like recolors).

and optionally the most fitting (vanilla) ship for that race(s). I lazy default to the human ship otherwise.

How I have it setup, adding support is very easy. Gathering all the data ends up being the real pain.

Is there going to be support for the elithian race mod?

ok thanks for the reply. cant wait for the gem pet though!

The gem ship I don't recall what it was off hand. I need to redownload all the races anyhow.
1. For the pet information. I want custom races to spawn their correct pets by default. Fortunately this doesn't require including assets.
2. Because I'm missing some races at this point. More have come out/been revived since these patches where made.
3. Possible improvements in the races. I didn't necessarily look all that deep anyhow. I was trying to just find the info I needed to support them all.

But maybe I might consider some ships(pending the conditions I stated). If I do get too many ships(shipyard starts getting crowded) then I will expand a new set of bays in to the right of the existing ones.

I don't have any custom race's actual ships in the shipyard currently. Dynamically placed ships are... next to impossible with how ships work currently. Adding it for anyone means adding it for everyone. The shipyard REPLACES your ship and includes all the vanilla ships. I'll probably be adding an outdated ship I restored soon too.

Adding a mod race's ship means I have to
1. Include the assets it uses(or those without the race mod will crash).
2. Remap their blockKey and edit blockImages as to not conflict with mine.
3. Align everything.
4. Want their ship enough to go through the work.
5. Have permissions in the first place(fine if free use) because #1.

But I have done some work on getting racial pets to spawn at least. Just need to build a list.
Was going to add Avali at least, but that mod is looking at a reboot so I better wait :(

is there a patch where the gem ship will be in the yard? all i can find are the vanilla ships. if they arent in the yard, will they be soon?

It seems the Kineptic are now found under "outdated" mods on the main SB forums.
http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/kineptic-race-mod.2264/

I don't believe this was the case when I added them(at least I don't think the mod got moved at that point) and I don't know off hand what's "outdated" about that mod. I don't know enough about race mods in general. But if you're lucky, it's just the ship :P

I'll leave in the support for them anyhow in the event that they do get updated. No reason not to. And if I find the motivation between working on other mods, then I need to add some more races that have come since these patches where first made.

About the Kineptic race... where can I get that mod?

@Tauzent Blitz
They probably came out(or where updated) after I made the patches. I think I'm behind several races at this point. I'll have to catch up on what I'm missing. But I'm currently working on several mods at once, so it might be a bit before I get to it. However...

It is the researching of all the races that takes longer than actually adding them - so if you happen to know the exact strings for the mod "name" (found in _metadata), and race names(as found in universe_server.config.patch) I can update this in a matter of a few minutes.

I'd also want to know if they have a custom (not recolored or very minor) ship to know which patch would be appropriate to put them in. And what vanilla ship(til I add others) would be most appropriate to start them in(I default to human if not specified).

If you don't know how to get that data - you could ask that race's mod author, or simply wait til I get around to it otherwise.

I don't see the Elithian Races in either patch.

I love this mod I have the races Elunite, Orcana, Avali, Droden, Avikan, Grekan, Trink, and
finally Hathee.

Don't use race mods if you don't have a extender.

Oh, and thankyou because I found a race extender that does I'll tell you the name to it for your help: CCExt100

Thankyou for the help but, I already found the command and all the ancient commands like: ancientblock, ancientchest, ancientbrick, ancientcrystaltrap, and ancientflametrap.

/admin
/spawnitem hylotlcaptainschair 1

Hyltol

Sadly the race extender mods crashing is something you'd have to have addressed by the author of that mod. Try a different one.

As for the chair, I can tell you the object name to spawn one. Which race's captain's chair did you need?

Oh, I have one more problem. The race extender mod crashes my game.

Sadly though with a diffrent mod I used a particle grenade and destroyed my captains chair so
I would love you to make a new mod that make you able to craft the captain's chair.
Thankyou!

Thankyou for the information.
